Oh I have other options open for her.  
1.  Walther ppk  .380
2.  French Walther pp .32
3.  kel-tec pf9 9mm
4.  Couple different 9mm's
I COULD mount a white light on one of the larger guns, but she is worried about getting woke up in a daze and possibly missing.  That is why I was hyped up about the white AND laser lights on the Curve.  I'm not real keen on the NO SIGHTS either, but figured if I could get it right (Maybe even trade in the Kel-tec) it would be worth playing with and with her range IF she had to use it would work out to be less than 10 feet.  The max range I stated earlier is if they were at the FAR end of the house and she was at the complete opposite end.
